MOD COST REDUCTION
The cost to level up a mod has been reduced starting today! Collect and upgrade more mods to strengthen your squads!
NEW MECHANIC: BLIND
Mission Vao has a new status effect attached to her Special 1 ability, Blind, but how does it work? Characters that are affected by Blind have a 100% chance to miss their next attack if able. The Blind debuff is “consumed” when the affected character activates an ability against an enemy that can evade and the attack misses. Here are some scenarios where Blind will not have an effect.
How does this work with Stuns or Unavoidable Attacks?
Unavoidable attacks do not interact with evade at all. Therefore if a unit uses an unavoidable attack while Blinded, it will not consume Blindbecause the expiration condition for Blindwas not met.
A character affected by Stun cannot evade at all. Therefore Blind is not consumed if the target is stunned as the target cannot evade.
SHARD SHUFFLE
The following units have entered new locations:
- Young Lando Calrissian is available in Chromium Packs and Shipments.
- L3-37 is available in Chromium Packs and Shipments.

FIXES
- Updated the Military Might Event’s Counterwatch ability and buff descriptions to correctly reflect the ability’s functionality.
- Fixed an issue that prevented Baze Malbus from inflicting Defense Penetration Down after dispeling Defense Penetration Up with his Fierce Reprisal ability.
- Fixed an issue that allowed Nightsister's (excluding Zombie) to be Revived by Mother Talzin’s “The Great Mother” if they were defeated with Deathmark active
- Fixed an issue that was preventing Lobot from gaining Speed from his Parallel Processing ability.
- Fixed an issue that could allow the target of Jolee's "Eh, You Do It" special ability to benefit from both healing effects once it has its max upgrade.
- Fixed an issue with the final upgrade on Jolee's "Eh, You Do It" special ability that prevented other Jedi allies from recovering Health if the targeted ally was immune to healing.
- Scimitar's Unique "Lurking Threat" will now correctly inflict Target Lock on enemy reinforcement after it is called in to battle as reinforcement.
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Critical Chance effect on Dathcha's unique ability from updating correctly when Jawa allies are defeated or Revived.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Update T3-M3’s Carbonite Projector Description - Text for T3-M4’s Carbonite Projector ability is confusing and implies the Turn Meter reduction is also irresistible.
Currently Reads: “Then remove 20% Turn Meter and inflict Critical Chance Down and Offense Down for 2 turns. Target Locked enemies can't Resist these debuffs.”
Will be changed in a following update to:
“Then, remove 20% Turn Meter and inflict Critical Chance Down and Offense Down for 2 turns. Target Locked enemies can't resist Critical Chance Down and Offense Down debuffs.”

Also thanks for fixing that lobot bug instead of the Sith raid.
Oh and a nice fix to the Scimmie too.
Fighter is no good to me of course, far too many resources going elsewhere to farm and gear assassin in my current status.
Guess Vandor and Young Solo aren't too popular if they're where they are. Good to know though.
Good one.
Really, oh men that’s confusing. What is with the new Mod Management? When do you release this?
Any reason why the dates for Executrix and Endurance were flipped?
I'm confused about this too. When would Zombie be dead to be affected by The Great Mother anyway, since it always comes back at the end of each turn if a NS is alive, which I'm assuming Talzin would be in order to have The Great Mother affect Zombie anyway. Unless there's another character around like Ewok Elder to bring them back when dead, allowing Zombie to die. Seems like a really edge case scenario.
*Edit, clarification came when I was typing.
It starts in 8 hours for Android and clearly states in announcement that it will be 2 weeks for iOS.
It says when a night sister dies with death mark they will not be revived . Zombie will be revived as long as there is another night sister
Some important feedback @CG_Kozispoon, @CG_SBCrumb
I think there are some serious issues that are either being ignored or there is a perception that they are being ignored and there is not enough clarity on firstly confirming some serious in game issues and secondly what if anything is being done about it, and if they are acknowledged when will these issues be addressed?
personally I am hoping with mod changes things will improve as at the moment (past 2 days) upgrades seem broken to me as I am experiencing issues the past few days and hoping this is not a game update bug, prior to the new mod system being introduced.. i.e. Defence upgrades very high and speed secondaries very very low 2 upgrades in a row of only 3, which does not feel like RNG but a change to the upgrade mechanism
To that effect as writing numerous amounts of text here I have summarised in a nice picture a top 5 things based on feedback from guild and arena shards (a section of players) views of the main issues and things that would go a long way to improving Quality of Life and helping the game improve...
I realise there is often a lot of negative, and you only have to read my tickets to the helpdesk that I can be one of those, but I want to keep this positive as only take time out to have a rant if it is important to us, and therefore should also be important to you as our Devs and Producers :-)
Or the changes to mod sets... Kinda in the dark when it comes to upgrading right now..
